Once again a floor plan

Hi Yvonne,
to what extent??

Hi Yvonne, to what extent??

Because the garage entrance is not near the main entrance, your door into the house will actually be your main entrance. I believe you wrote that above as well. The door from the garden will probably also be the access to the garden tools, such as the lawn mower and spade. Now, consider the scenarios: groceries done, child with you, from the car into the house – you have to squeeze past the car parked there with the shopping baskets (and possibly a stroller). It’s the same with gardening: you cannot get the lawn mower past the cars to the door, if at all, only with a lot of inconvenient effort. Surely some have these problems, and they usually manage them by moving the cars in front of the garage on weekends for gardening, but that wouldn't be possible here since it is a public area. Besides, this is about more than an affordable standard house where you make do with such things due to lack of money. In this respect, it would not be quite appropriate, on the one hand, to have a lot of spatial comfort in the house, but to have to struggle with it daily to use it, and probably the joy of the car quickly disappears due to a rake or shopping basket.

Unfortunately, I cannot read the depth of the garage either. Perhaps a carport for a car with a roof attached to the house for a second parking space, accessed from the north, could be an alternative?

You are absolutely right, the entrance for us will normally always be through the garage. Unfortunately, we can only position the garage in this way. (Garage is mandatory, I do not want a carport) Would you then move the stairs to the basement towards the kitchen and place the door from the garage into the house all the way towards the house wall?

Hope the measurements are now visible

so the storage area of the garage belongs upstairs, so that you can access the storage area directly through the door at the top in the garage. basically, there would only be the bathroom window there, which can also be done differently.

i also find it strange that the basement stairs and the upper floor stairs are not aligned. that wastes about 2x ~4sqm of space, which at the usual 1600€/sqm is quickly about ~6000€ extra costs (+ possible additional costs because there are 2 staircases including everything that belongs with them).

you want this hallway area with stairs going up in half the living room (basically a lot of wasted hallway space without use or wall space for cabinets), you also want to build with an architect. purely in terms of functionality, that is not a very smart choice. you have a hallway area without a front door of 3x5 meters, where only a staircase stands. that's 15sqm wasted (because the actual entrance still has to be added).
the best thing would be to mentally go through various scenarios (as mentioned above with a stroller after shopping and carrying groceries into the kitchen) and consider whether you like it and where it could be too tight or similar.

in the attic, the hallway is also really wide, bedroom 2 looks pretty skinny. the niche there should at least be about 2.1 meters finished size, so that you can get a bed in there (measure the bed lengths again beforehand :) ). that way the room could still be saved and also be well divided (in adolescence with a separate sleeping area).

the sauna is designed too small. a sauna where you can only sit is nonsense and quickly becomes a broom closet. if you're going to do it, do it properly. you need about 2.3 meters length (outer dimension) so you can lie down inside. width starts at about 1.6 meters. do you want a wet room sauna with tiles and so on? then it would work as drawn. a sauna with wooden walls (dry sauna for ~100°C) needs air circulation to the house wall and would therefore be a step smaller. if you want a sauna, you should at least visit a sauna manufacturer once beforehand and see what you like and just get an offer. we planned a sauna in the upper floor bathroom and also executed it.
don't forget the power connection for 3 phases (400 volts) :)
